As The Sheffield Star initially reported, a notice appeared in Sheffield, stating that SJM Concerts are planning an event at Hillsborough this September, providing live music and the sale of alcohol for up to four days.

However it now seems that the prospect of the shows is entirely up in the air, after Sheffield City Council confirmed that the licensing application has been subsequently withdrawn.

When contacted by Sheffield based website VIBE, a council spokesperson said: “We can confirm that SJM concerts has withdrawn the licencing application for Hillsborough Park. We don’t know why as of yet.”

NME has also contacted Sheffield City Council and a representative for Arctic Monkeys in order to verify the reports.
